Bellevue School of Performing Arts 2000 Appling Road, Memphis, TN 38016

"Both our son and daughter have been students at Bellevue's School of Performing Arts through the years, and it has been a great experience all around. My son took guitar lessons for 3 years where he really connected with his teacher. Randall was not only a great teacher professionally, but he was also a great mentor in the faith. Our daughter took violin lessons for 12 years and recently graduated from the Suzuki program. Her teacher, Lori Gilbert, was a HUGE blessing, always spurring her on while showing encouragement and patience. Both teachers showed a love for the Lord both personally and professionally. SPA offers many opportunities to get involved and sharpen musical skills while serving and encouraging others!"

"My three children have received exceptional private piano lesson instruction from the Bellevue SPA for many years. Each of my children have experienced compassionate care and individualized lessons to grow their musical skills. Their instructors provide genuine accountability to spur them to their personal best! I highly recommend the Bellevue School of Performing Arts to students of all abilities: from a blossoming beginner to the most advanced musician. Ministry excellence is seen in everything the Bellevue SPA partakes in!"

"Our experience has been great with Bellevue SPA, not only are the teachers wonderful, but they are professional and teach our children excellence. My daughter has been taking violin for 3 years so far and it has been amazing to see how far she has come in such a short time. The dedication of the teachers and their faithfulness to excellence and to the Lord has helped make this experience more than we could have imagined."

"I have had 3 of my children go through the SPA. My son is still involved and is working on his 11th year with private lessons and has had years of opportunities to perform in group classes, ensemble, orchestra, and special events. The teachers here are involved, encouraging and inspiring and my son would not be the musician he has grown to be without the tremendous influence of Hannah Schmidt and this music program. It warms my heart to see how well these children grow and improve as time goes by. Parents are taught how to help their children and they are encouraged to be involved in lessons and group classes. Students get the opportunity to graduate from different levels as well as learning how to work hard with high expectations. The School of Performing Arts is unlike any place to start a lifetime of music enjoyment and skills for everyone. Thank you for all that you have done for my children. It has all been such a blessing. I would encourage anyone to spend time here beginning with lessons."

"We are currently sending our second student through voice lessons at the Bellevue School of Performing Arts. We selected Bellevue SPA after careful research and found this program to meet all our expectations in terms of excellent teachers, value for the money and support from the staff. I received some great advice for my son...to start his lessons before his voice changed so that he would be trained correctly even as his voice adapted. I am so glad we did! His amazing teacher truly guided him through the process and we have been amazed at the progress he made this year. He even placed 3rd chair Bass in the Middle School All-West Choir this year! We are grateful and feel we have received a great education through SPA."
